After initial cancer treatments, a secondary, incurable tumor may form, known as a treatment-induced high-grade glioma. Thankfully, researchers are searching for a cure for these high-grade gliomas in children.

The goal of the study is to identify biologically rational therapeutics for the medical treatment of adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma by confirming the overexpression of specific molecules and ultimately improving treatment for patients with this rare tumor.

Diagnosis

Patients with the diagnosis or clinical suspicion of craniopharyngioma in whom planned clinical management will include tissue sampling
